Ruffle Wrap Skirt

I have been looking for the perfect floral skirt for quite some time now. The problem was finding the perfect fabric. I could never seem to find a pretty floral that wasn’t either sheer, or had the right amount of lightweight drape that I was looking for. So imagine my excitement when I happened to stumble across the perfect floral silky rayon floral fabric while shopping at my local Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Store. It was all heart eye and dancing lady emojis from there. This fabric was, and still is, 100% PERFECTION! I have tried and tried to find it on-line so that I can link you to it, but they do not have it listed. So it seems to only be available in-store, which is a bummer. But if you an find it, by the bolt I am telling you! I am going to go back and beg for more if I can.

And after sewing up the BurdaStyle #112B wrap dress (post coming soon on that dress), I knew I could easily alter that pattern to make the skirt of my dreams.
